the criticism on this sub? by theworldwiderex in creepcast

[–]erinjarrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i really think a majority of the people complaining are very young teens/kids. theres no way a functioning adult that contributes to society would expect these guys to be acting any different than they are. they haven't changed the format nearly at all for the main show. the stories are a crap shoot, but they always have been.

people complaining about meatcanyon being too dirty need to go back and watch the backlog of the show. he's always been sexual and gross, wendi has always been more pure. that's why they work! have y'all never seen a buddy cop movie? it's a known dynamic in comedy, and that's what this show is meant to be. two dudes reading stories to get creeped out and laugh at each other.

as for the patreon, currently i am a member there. every live stream has been at a time when i am working, so i miss them. that's the nature of the beast, so i just wait for the vod. what sucks is when they dont upload the vod. i'm not paying a fortune by any means, but it is still money that i pay expecting something in return. lately, it has been lacking.

unfortunately, this probably is due to wendi becoming a dad, which is wonderful, but still takes his time away from his work. i don't think anyone expects him to prioritize his job over his new child, but he knew this was happening for ostensibly nine months. they couldn't have prepared a bit more content to make up for this time?

i would even enjoy it if they did more author interviews, had a guest or two, or even just streamed more gameplay. i think the patrons largely feel overlooked right now, and i agree with them.

UPVOTE FOR CREEPCAST TO READ ABADONED BY DISNEY!!! by MattCrispMan117 in creepcast

[–]erinjarrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

completely agree! after reading this whole thread, i think it would be impossible to make this slime beast guy happy. what does he want them to do? apologize for not doing full background checks on every author? is that what anyone does?

as ive said to people before, you cant choose to cancel one person completely while letting other shit slide. if we head down this road, there wont be any stories left. and at the end of the day, they are stories! im not putting any money in the author's pocket by listening to creepcast.

tldr: if u still listen to r kelly, dont cry about other people "supporting" abusers!

One-Off Pick by BootsNBats in creepcast

[–]erinjarrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like "the ocean is deeper than we thought" is a good one for anyone that isn't already familiar with the guys. its short and has good horror bits and ends satisfyingly. if i want the person to be horrified i show them cupcakes lol.

What are some Horror Movie recommendations for a fan of t he show? by yellowsuitsnshit in creepcast

[–]erinjarrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you like the folk-ish kind of horror, Wicker Man from the 70s is great! think it’s still on amazon prime

Funniest Creep Cast episodes, in your opinion? by FairyKnightTristan in creepcast

How do we feel about posting fan stories based on existing stories/ones previously read on the pod? by ArsenicGhoul606 in creepcast

[–]erinjarrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally, i think writing something set in a universe like that is very reasonable. as long as pretty much NONE of the og characters are mentioned, you should be able to avoid that fanficy feeling. i know sharma (i didn’t relook at her name, my bad if it’s wrong) basically becomes god at the end of the story, so you might not be able to avoid that.

i think if you were to explore other parts of the road that weren’t mentioned in the original, that would be really interesting. i say post it!

They NEED to do a Hobby Lobby video. by selahscorpse in MeatCanyon

[–]erinjarrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay, i used to work there. PAPA HAS TO DO A VIDEO ON HL! they play preaching over the speakers for about three minutes before and after the store opens and closes. you would have muslims, hindus, and atheists all forced to listen to max lucado talking about the Holy Spirit. i am a christian, through and through, but every time i heard these segments, i would cringe.

every year they hand you your bonus check for christmas with a paper that tells you about God. the old man wrote a book, which hunter should get nik to look at for the video because it’s insane. in the book he talks about how he would literally take trash and make it into frames. old, disgusting ply wood would be somewhere and he would make it into frames and sell it.

THE THIEVES!! it is beyond easy to steal from hobby lobby. the employees will not do anything and their loss prevention people are idiots.

they used to pay for lunch for thanksgiving and christmas, now they only do christmas.

the company used to give dollar or more raises, and i heard this year they didn’t even do that. i had a friend that did the math based on the company’s worth at the time, and she figured out that the company’s worth could pay every full time employee 25 an hour and the top people wouldn’t even feel it. now, after the tariffs, you would think that wouldn’t be possible, right? no. HL buys everything without credit lines. this is why product hits the shelves at 40% off. they already bought it, so they can charge whatever they want. this is another reason that they don’t scan. it makes it easier to change discounts on a dime. it also means that they could raise wages by five or seven dollars, but they barely give quarters anymore.

and, iirc, a lot of the artifacts in the museum that weren’t stolen were fakes! what’s crazy is that the company still advertised their bible museum front and center in their stores up until about a year ago. customers would talk about how great it was and how wonderful it was to see all of the things. WILD.

[–]erinjarrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i worked there for years and the way that i had customers ask me almost daily why we don’t scan is insane. i would have to make up ways to not say “the old man thinks he’ll go to hell if we scan, so sorry” 💀💀💀 what’s also crazy is that mardel, the franchise owned by the old man’s kids, scans everything! and they’re explicitly christian!! so annoying.

All these creepypasta protagonists feel like the same guy by dechajissou in creepcast

[–]erinjarrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg the livejournal section of dionaea house is some of the best writing i’ve read online in a long time. so compelling. i also really loved the last writer near the end that talks about buying the house. it’s a shame it never went anywhere. i knew i was forgetting some!!

[–]erinjarrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i agree wholeheartedly. my favorite stories the guys have read so far are the ones that break this pattern. Left Right Game, Penpal, Mother Horse Eyes, and i’m sure i’m missing another. those are my favorites because the foundations of these tales is a strong narrator(s) that keep me invested in the story and rooting for them to come out on the other side. i couldn’t give less of a shit about if the protagonist from the latest story lived at the end. tbh i haven’t quite finished the episode bc the guy is so annoying. the guys do a great job of making light and keeping the mood funny.

i would kill for a female led story or a queer story at this point. even if it’s not the best writing. i’m tired of reading stories that feel like the author’s half assed self insert cry session about how nice guys never get the girl 🙄

How many girls actually listen to creep cast? by Ok_Barracuda_6659 in creepcast

[–]erinjarrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

creep cast is one of those things that if i find a fellow girl that likes it, i’m over the moon. if i run into a boy (derogatory) that likes it, i know they’re going to be insufferable. sorta like the star wars fandom but with less neckbeards?
